Prevent
The Prevent programme supports people who are at risk of becoming involved with terrorism through radicalisation, to make Islington a safer place.
Radicalisation and extremism are serious risks to Islington. We developed the Prevent programme in response to the Government’s Contest strategy (2023).
We focus on working with schools, community, police and security services to identify and protect vulnerable individuals or groups from being radicalised or getting into extremism.
Seeing signs of radicalisation
The Educate Against Hate website explains any possible signs of radicalisation.
Make a referral
If you're worried someone is at risk of being involved in terrorism or of being exploited:
- contact us on prevent@islington.gov.uk
- fill in a referral form and give it to the police
Call 999 if there is an immediate risk to safety.
Prevent training
Prevent awareness training for professionals who work with members of the public is essential for early identification and intervention. You’ll learn how to understand and recognise signs of radicalisation and extremism to support your safeguarding responsibilities.
